thankful car tires are cheaper than truck tires. The price for four new rubbers for my accord wasn’t too bad, this included mount/balance and disposal of old ones.

Same here. She's still got another 30-40k to go before I have to worry about it.

Tires arrived sooner than planned. Rides nice, no rubbing. But I do think I want a leveling kit for up front. Not sold on it just yet, but the desire is there.

Just do the leveling kit. It's just springs, shocks and a drop bracket for the sway bar. I did mine in a few hours

What kit did you do?
I know a ton of people who run Carli suspension in their 3/4 and 1 tons. They’re extremely popular with the rig welders around here. I’ve ridden in several trucks that have their suspension and have always been impressed. Little more expensive than other options for a basic level kit. Wish they made one for the F150s.

Yeah, Carli makes nice stuff. Way more than I want to spend on it.

My buddy is looking at the Carli setup for his diesel in the future.

F250 threw an error code up on the dash today. It read "Adaptive Steering Fault. Service Required". Call the local Ferd dealer, was planning to drop it off this afternoon since the fucks need to hold it for 4-5 days before they can get to it. WTF? Anyhow, also did some Googlizing to see what it was. Majority of folks that had it had their steering wheel replaced... to the tune of a $2500 new steering wheel. But also noted that many were showing the error code details and it came down to low voltage. Some said battery. Well my batteries are over 3 years, old school style, not AGM and I don't drive it much so its possible they shit. Anyhow, threw on the charger for each battery. Fired it up and error message was gone, drives fine. Went to Costco at lunch and it drove fine. Did notice that one of the batteries was a little wet around the positive post. Anyhow, ordered 2 new group 65 AGM batteries from Batteries Plus (X2 Power). They will be here tomorrow so fingers crossed that fixed it.
Also had low windshield washer fluid, I fixed that when I checked on the batteries. :)

Supposedly it changes the rate at which the steering wheel turns based on speed. Slower speeds it turns quicker, higher speeds it turns slower.
